Let's not talk about AI. Joe and the Challenger team is doing it right. Full episode here: https://t.co/bQrSKeZAHY

Data Fest was a vibe ✨ thank you @DataLabScotland for organising!

[Susan Zhang @suchenzang]

all this ai math talk makes me realize:

- there's not enough professional mathematicians around who waste their time on X

- there's even fewer combinatorial geometrists doing the above

- we all worship math as a final beacon of human reasoning intelligence

- we all secretly want to be smarter than mathematicians

- the people who know the least about math and ai/llms always have the most opinions

Thank you @digitfyi for putting together such a thoughtful event and to everyone who came up to chat!

Today, we share a breakthrough on the planar unit distance problem, a famous open question first posed by Paul Erdős in 1946.

For nearly 80 years, mathematicians believed the best possible solutions looked roughly like square grids.

An OpenAI model has now disproved that belief, discovering an entirely new family of constructions that performs better.

This marks the first time AI has autonomously solved a prominent open problem central to a field of mathematics.

A new chapter is starting for me: I'm joining @DataVitaUK as Head of Al and I couldn't be more excited.

[Dr Ana Rojo-Echeburúa @arojomaths]

Today was my last day at @QA_Ltd super grateful for the opportunity, learnt a lot and met amazing people. Time to start a new adventure though! Can’t wait to share with the world what I’m up to next 🤍

This is How AI is Going to Find the Next Messi https://t.co/bQrSKeZAHY

[Dr Ana Rojo-Echeburúa @arojomaths]

I find it genuinely disturbing that we continue to downplay it, ignore it, or treat it as if it has no real-world consequences. I’m not okay with that. And I’m not going to stay quiet about it.

I’m saying this not just from a distance, but from personal experience. This has affected me more closely than I would have ever expected, and it’s something I feel strongly about.

[Dr Ana Rojo-Echeburúa @arojomaths]

Across the EU, deepfakes are increasingly subject to transparency rules. Under the EU AI Act, synthetic or manipulated content like deepfakes must be labelled or made detectable, and users must be informed when content is AI generated or manipulated.

[Dr Ana Rojo-Echeburúa @arojomaths]

Spain has moved in the same direction. In March 2025, the Spanish government approved draft reforms to the Penal Code and digital protection rules that would classify sexual deepfakes as crimes against moral integrity and strengthen protections for minors in digital environments.
